Roasted groundnut packing in Kenya: Planning Worksheets and Source Register
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to roasted groundnut packing.
This is a planning reference for roasted groundnut packing. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional plain roasted-groundnut packing run: two hundred 100 g pouches, twenty kilograms accepted nuts, from 24 kg documented raw kernels. Four kg sort/process loss is an invented ledger outcome. Supply shelled unsalted nuts with intact pouch seals; roasting must follow a qualified validated procedure, not colour alone. Peanut allergy, source contamination and post-roast handling remain central release decisions.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0102: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 200 priced units at KSh 80.00 each. Buyer group: Kiosks and snack buyers. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 200 x KSh 80.00 = KSh 16,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 11,140.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 4,860.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 4,800.00. The invoice balance is KSh 11,200.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 6,340.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
These sample entries are not your actual job records. Keep names, contacts and payment references in private copies. The paid pack contains offline editable costing, operations and cash-planning tools; this public sheet explains how the records connect.
